Salvatore [Intégrale] #[nn]

Nicolas de Crécy's Salvatore arrives in this Dupuis integral edition, gathering the full tale of the bear-like, overall-clad Salvatore, shown here trotting across a snow-covered alpine slope clutching a small card or photograph, while an enormous rusted vehicle sits half-buried in the snowdrift behind him. De Crécy's watercolor-tinged artwork gives the cover a quietly poetic atmosphere — vast mountains in cool blue-grey tones, tiny footprints in the snow, and a lone figure whose determined stride carries a surprisingly tender weight. A lovely 2010 collection for anyone drawn to European comics that blend absurdist whimsy with genuine warmth.
